sClass is being applied to table headers

mspangler

When using the sClass option for aoColumnDefs I noticed that it's applying the class to the element as well as to the elements for that column. I didn't think it was suppose to apply this to the elements. Am I wrong or do I have another issue going on to cause this?

This is intentional as it can be used to identify a whole column, including the header. If this is effecting your CSS or DOM, you can just add an 'thead / tbody' condition to your selector :-)

hi,
actually sClass doesn't gives class to "each" cell in column. it doesn't work for cells in tfoot.
example for 3-column table with tfoot row for sums:
...
.red{ color: red; }
...
$("table").dataTable({
"aoColumns": [
{"sClass": "red"},
{"sClass": "red"},
{"sClass": "red"}
]
});
...


TOTALS
sum of col b
sum of col c



data in last row aren't red. if this is right behavior, i suggest to edit purpose of sClass in reference: "Class to give to _each_ cell in this column.".

i think it should work for tfoot too. for example: if numeric data are in column i give alignRight class to this column. in footer there is sum for each row in that column, so it should has this class too.

I think that's a fair point! Bug noted for 1.8.3 :-)

Thanks,
